Trash Magic

May not be politically correct but idgaf it's one of the things I like so much about Lana / Weyes Blood etc... I do think there is something to be said for artistry and the way artists present themselves/what they want people to notice especially in their presence online but I won't get into it I just happen to have a strong aversion to the entire makeup / YouTuber / influencer sphere and the culture around it I know people won't agree with me

My track record is kind of immaculate

The Angels Like You performance video... she is fucking phenomenal. So excited for this live set

But is it REALLY?

The exclusive cassette cover... are they fucking joking Lana really just be sending random shit from her camera roll for all her artwork

Lmao this is funny. I have no interest in her, as a rule I have no respect for artists who are instagram models / wear excessive make up I randomly added la luz (Fin) to my playlist last month tho I like it

So sad for you guys I wasn't ever a listener but their presence was inescapable on twitter and music forums and seemed to be such a prolific and influential artist and a pioneer of so many things that are ubiquitous in music and digital art today. Alongside the death of Terrell Davis earlier this month it's so heartbreaking to see creatives who are really pushing the envelope and building such a sense of community with their supporters taken from us.

Worse cover than Chemtrails since some considerable effort was put into it

RE: Dua it's funny cause watching the Song Exploder Love Again episode I had this exact takeaway it was just like... okay so she had absolutely no involvement in the song Which isn't exactly of detriment to her or her being a "fraud" but it was revealing

Absolutely stellar Miley performances have been the one constant this past 12 months... This was no exception. She's so confidently in her prime everything she has done is magnetic. She's so obviously a music fan through and through and a lover of performing that even watching performances of the same songs is a joy because the arrangements seem to keep switching up. Turning Prisoner into a brooding dark country rock anthem... Fade Into You was total magic and will be replayed 100 times and Golden G String was fantastic potentially better than album version.

And she's covering Fade Into You by Mazzy Star. Her taste is fantastic. I love the song Misty Blue since she shared it to her story last week

What an amazing surprise

It’s actually performance art how this never happened and was never spoken of again.

A lot of times I think whoa there’s no way it has been X years since X was released but Born to Die definitely feels 9 years old to me if not older! Don’t find myself ever listening to the album tracks other than Radio and maybe Without You. Of course all the singles stand the test of time (Dark Paradise not included. National Anthem substituted for the eerie and more sparsely produced Demo #2). It’s always so weird to me when time passes and I turn the age my favourite artists were when they released some of their most pivotal works. 9 years on she was 2 years older than I am now. It’s weird there always seems to be a huge disconnect when you are a young teen listener enamoured with a twenty-something singer there seems to be some kind of vast, mystic disparity between you both, where it seems they are light years away from you in age but still not “old”. Then before you know it you grow up and realise just how young they were and what an accomplishment and how truly extraordinary the things they achieved were at that age. ?

Without being too hyperbolic it really is masterful just how crammed the title track is with hooks. Like there's not a second of down time. So many instrumental flourishes, adlibs and melodies. AOTY I'm imaging some outrageous B-52s / Dee-lite style music video

Flipside My Best Days I Talk to Jesus immediately come to mind

no date on the vinyl? I need this

Yesterday was 5 years since I saw her live in a tiny room with ~60 other disinterested people Haven't heard the new leaks but That Kind of Woman remix has firmly become my favourite song from this album behind Don't Start Now

The implications having both "I'm a cheetah not a zebra" + "I'm a nile crocodile - a piranha" on the same album would have had

Wait this is just what I was thinking Too bad the what's good? intro was cut but obviously because Miley What's Good? was on the album too

huge huge cringe industry plant

Sagittarius would be legitimately good with a final vocal take. Would be so fun as a set opener with those trumpets I can totally see her walking out to it

She needs to drop Tired of Singing The Blues on IGTV!

She literally is hrhcollection. All her videos are her defending herself against peoples comments which haven't been made yet

She's not booking another magazine cover ever again is she It's clear she thrives off of drama and wants there to be some kind of opposition against her. It's self sabotage. It's like she wants to feel like she's fighting an enemy.
